Vegas Golden Knights Announce Roster Transactions

VGK upgrade Zack Hayes to NHL contract for next season.

Likewise, Colorado Eagles D Keaton Middleton and F Liam O'Brien have been signed to NHL contracts by the Avalanche, though the AHL transactions page only lists Middleton as having been released from his AHL contract. I assume the same will happen for O'Brien at some point.



As per the tweet, O'Brien is on waivers. Perhaps when he clears he'll be officially released from his AHL contract.

A few AHL players have upgraded their contracts to NHL SPCs in the past few days :

D Cody Goloubef (Belleville - PTO) : 19GP 3-1-4 (Signed by Ottawa)
G Ken Appleby (Bridgeport - SPC) : 2GP 1W-0L-1OTL (Signed by NYIslanders)
D Josh Healey (Chicago - SPC) : 20GP 1-1-2 (Signed by Nashville)
G Cole Kehler (Manitoba - SPC) : 1GP 0W-1L-0OTL (Signed by Winnipeg)

It doesn't necessarily mean that these players will play in the NHL this season but they'll at least serve as insurance policies with the NHL trade deadline approaching.

Vegas prospect join the Silver Knights for the reminder of the season.

[Jacob]

A 3 year AHL-only deal seems kinda peculiar, no?

A 3 year AHL-only deal seems kinda peculiar, no?

I've never seen it. I think it's actually longer than an NHL entry-level contract for his age group.

Sharks Sign Goaltender Zach Sawchenko to Entry-Level Contract

Sharks upgrade Cuda's Sawchenko contract to ELS.

(I'm also noting that recent TO list @Booba does not include Reedy who's on ATO for balance of this season before his ELC kicks in)

I've never seen it. I think it's actually longer than an NHL entry-level contract for his age group.

But you can always terminate the deal and sign an NHL one.

EDIT: saw various AHL to NHL SPC conversions.
